Achievements if you want the actual interactive simulation, visit this link CLICK HERE > interactive simulationĪs shown, It is the frame-by-frame of the actual simulation cut by 1 ms per frame. A video is attached if you want an interactive simulation result. This is the per frame cut of the actual simulation. To simulate or RUN the project, click the play button on the toolbar.
Step 9: Simulate the #Pneumatic control circuit. To do it, simply double click on the limit switches attached to the 3/2 way DCV for both set-up, as shown in the figure. The aim of this part is to provide the logical sequence for both pneumatic control circuit in this project. Step 8: configure limit switches for both pneumatic control circuit. 1 to air supply, as indicated in the figure below.Įdit the distance rule by clicking the distance symbol above the double-acting cylinder, as shown in figure. In this project, designate A0 and B0 at 0 mm, and A1 and B1 at 100 mm.īefore configuring the distance, connect first all terminal no.
Follow the procedure as indicated in the figure below. Step 8: configure distance limit for both pneumatic control circuit. DO the following procedure for both 3/2 way DCV present in the secondary control circuit as shown in the figure. Step 7: configure 3/2 way DCV for the the secondary control circuit. So, do the procedure as indicated in the figure below. In this project, the exhaust terminal are no. Click the terminal designated as exhaust. So, the secondary circuit will be the same with the figure below Step 6: configure exhaust terminal for the the secondary control circuit. The movement is either 0 mm or 100 mm.Īfter, clicking the paste, you need to delete the 3/2 way DCV, NC push button since it is not part on the second control circuit. By which the primary double-acting cylinder depending on the secondary double-acting cylinder's position, as sense by the limit switch. This is for the configuration of the second double-acting cylinder control circuit.ĭiscussion: Since the aim of the project is to design and simulate an automatic sequential motion for pneumatic double-acting cylinder, we need two set-up of control circuit for the system. (Duplicate the set-up made) In this part, we will copy the whole set-up created so far. Step 5: Creating the secondary control circuit. But, first, double click the 3/2 way DCV so that a dialog box will appear.Ĭonfigure all exhaust terminal as designated to terminal no. Follow the steps as indicated in the figure below. Do this step for all equipment, as shown in figure.Ĭonfiguring the 3/2 way DCV. Click first the terminal designation, hold then drag to the next terminal. Double click the 5/2 way DCV first before a dialog box appears.Ĭonnecting the 5/2 way DCV to the 3/2 way DCV. To finish the configuration of the 5/2 way DCV, put the terminal designation number for the pneumatic actuation of the 5.2 way DCV. The result will look the same with the figure below. Step 4: Configure and connect equipment Configuring the 5/2 way directional control valve, simply follow the steps as indicated in the figure.Īfter following the procedure as indicated in the figure above. And, arrange the materials according to the picture shown below. After clicking the material, you simply drag it to the new project workplace.ĭo it until you selected all the necessary listed materials. Step 3: Select the Materials to be used To select the materials to be used, you click the symbol of material as indicated in the left pane in the worksheet. Select NEW or you can directly use shortcut key CRTL + N. Step 2: Create a NEW Project Locate FILE on the menu bar, and a drop-down option appears. So, both cylinder will not retract at the same time, but the double-acting cylinder #2 will be depend on the position of double-acting cylinder #1, either at 0 mm or at 100 mm (full retraction). Our desired output will be an automatic sequential/ alternating retraction of piston in two pneumatic double-acting cylinder. Let’s start with the materials and software that we will be using in this topic.ģ/2 way directional control valve, normally close push button, spring-returnedģ/2 way directional control valve, normally open limit switch, with roller, spring-returnedĥ/2 way directional control valve, pneumatically actuated.
